Dinghy sailing is an excellent sport for both youth and adults. Summer programs for youth and adults are run around the province. These boats are often one- or two-person boats and can be a great way to get out on the water. An instructional program put on by a sailing club is a great place to start. You can reach out to your local sailing club and browse their program options. Not sure where your local sailing club is? You can find it by clicking the button below.
